Hello All, I am writing this tutorial to give some basic steps on how to setup your own VTC (Virtual Trucking Company) on Euro Truck Simulator 2 MP. This guide is aimed at those who are interested in getting a group of drivers together, who will participate in convoys and submit jobs online together etc... A VTC is a great way of members of the ETS2MP community communicating and enjoying the game with each other. Please remember that this is simply a guide, and does not have to be followed word for word. Some of these steps are optional, but are just what I recommend if you want to setup a successful VTC. Bare in mind that it can take a while to start getting members to join your VTC (a matter of months in some cases) and you will need to put some effort, time and even money into the development of the VTC if you wish for it to go far. It may also be easier for you to collect some extra friends to assist with setting up your new VTC. This will make the whole process much easier and will help in the long run when your VTC is setup and you are starting to get new members coming in. If you think this guide could be improved in any way, please do feel free to comment on this thread with your thoughts/suggestions! I will make sure I read all of them! So, let's get started: Choose Company Positions: Before anything, you will need to decide which position everybody will be in. I personally am a fan of this position structure: CEO (Owner), COO, Driver Manager, Driver Supervisor and Driver. You can personalize this as much as you like, or even use a completely different structure. This is really based off personal preference. Choose a Paint Job/Trucks: If you are on ETS2MP, you will need to choose one of the stock paint jobs from the base game to use (as there is no mod support on MP). However, if you are on Singleplayer, you will also be able to add in modded paint jobs if you wish. Setup a website: Your website will basically be where your new members will register, and where your existing members will go to for news and updates etc... A MyVTC panel is NOT a website! Setup a VTC Panel: This is where you will decide where your drivers will submit their deliveries completed in-game online. There are 2 main options available for this, however there are now some alternatives coming out that can be found on the "Unofficial Tools" section here on the ETS2MP Forums. The 2 most common VTC panels are MyVTC.net and TruckNet. MyVTC is completely free and easy to setup, and TruckNet costs money to purchase and requires your own web hosting to setup. Both are good options. Setup a TeamSpeak: Now this one isn't necessarily required, but I do personally recommend it and use it in my own VTC. A TeamSpeak server is a VOIP (communications) server that is used for your VTC members to voice chat online. A TS server will cost you money, but you can get a budget server if you shop around. Start Advertising/Driving! Now all that is really left is to start advertising your new VTC and start driving on the road with your members! Setup some convoys on the ETS2C site to get your VTC name out there, and start showing a presence on online forums/websites such as this one! Remember that it will take time to start getting members, you just need to be patient!And that is my quick guide to setting up your own VTC! I hope this helps those who were interested in this and please do feel free to ask any questions/leave comments in a reply to this topic . I will be happy to help there! Kind Regards, Magic Reloadable (Tom)

I've seen a lot of peoples struggling with reversing a double trailer already in the few months that I'm playing Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Altought I've also seen a lot of peoples trying to park it into the unload-location, which is in most cases a very funny thing to watch.
Therefore in this guide I'll show how to allow yourself scriptwise to park a double trailer in the hardest-possible way.
And either I'll show you what would be the best way to train your skills in parking/unloading a double trailer.
1. How to make yourself able to hard-park a double trailer:
As most of you might have noticed, you can't select the hard way to park with doubles when arriving at the unload location.
This can simple be resolved by going to the "profile" files in your Euro Truck Simulator 2 folder, and click on the profile that you want to use.
"In case of multiple profiles you can login with your in-game profile and reload the folder, it will be the one on top (last used) after doing this".
In the profile folder you should open the "(config) .cfg file", and change the number behind this line: "g_simple_parking_doubles" from 1 to 0.
Now you will be able to hard-park your trailer in-game, in addition you can also auto-select hard-parking by setting "g_parking_difficulty" to 2.
2. How to reverse with a double trailer in case of driving into a death-end road:
A lot of peoples would be able to find their way out here, but some of them take a very long time for it while it is totally uneccaserely.
As most of you guys know, you just steer into the upposite direction of the trailer when you turn out of a death-end with a single trailer.
The basic of doing this maneuver with double trailers is almost the same, however you'll steer to the direction as where you wish to go.
By steering into the same direction your first trailer goes into the upposite direction, and thereby pushes the second trailer in the same.
Make sure to take a good look at the angle between the second and the first trailer, with a to sharp angle you will end up in damage.
However as long as you go straight in reverse, a smooth but carefull zig-zag move would do the job.
3. How to park double trailers on the hard-parking spot:
If you can turn your doubles in a narrow entrance it is time for you to learn how to park it into any place.
It is very important to look at the angles of your trailers and the angles of your truck when attempting to park it backwards.
The angle between your truck and the first trailer should not exceed 90 dagrees, and the angle between the trailers shouldn't exceed 110 dagrees.
That's just theoretical, to give a clear insight on the working angles, however when getting much above this angles you'll need to correct by driving forwards.
When you don't correct it there would be a big chance for you to end up sharpened. This will require some training, but the result is fantastic in my opinion.
Further I would advise everyone who is going to train their reversing skills with double trailers, to start immediately with the cabin-view.
When you take the exterior-camera you'll get used to that, and thereby it would still be hard to do it from the interior.
Hint: Its better to have the parking spot on the drivers side, since you will be able to see where your trailer goes by looking trough the window than.
The turned trailer would make you unable to watch it by using your mirrors, therefore this is highly recommendable in order to succeed.
Example/Clarification video for reversing with double trailers:
I'd hope that this guide helped you with the basics about how to learn it.
Good luck with training your skills in reversing with double trailers!

This guide is about how I setup and help other friends setup their Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator to play Multiplayer and I thought I would share this information with the community. This guide will include "How to Download" and "Install the Client" along with some tips to do before going online including money mods and rank XP mods to help you get your unlocks easily, and avoid getting bankrupt over pesky drivers. Also when playing Multiplayer some problems may occur so I've included some of the most common problems to help you get back trucking quickly!
Update 1 (14th November 2014): Ported Guide over to new forums. Updated "How to Download Client" section due to forum and website changes.
-----
Update 2 (1st December 2014): Added in 2 new sections for a quicker start in Multiplayer "Loan Method" & "Save Game Method". Tidied up some older sections.
-----
Update 3 (16th July 2015): Reworked the "Common Problems" section by changing the graphics and adding in "How to Downgrade your Game". All other sections were tidied up further.
-----
Update 4 (17th February 2016): Reworked and changed images of tutorials and installation guides for TruckersMP. Guide and Mods updated to match both games with Save Games, XP Mods and Money Mods updated.
-----
Update 5 (20th July 2017): Updating client section added along with sections reworded. Most pictures updated for logo change, installation changes and client changes. All images now fixed and re-hosted due to Photobucket's 3rd party image hosting fiasco
1: To get started in downloading the client for Multiplayer you're going to need to create an account to play online and to use in the forums. Start off by navigating to the link below:
TruckersMP Multiplayer Website
Once you've navigated to this page, click "Register" at the top right hand corner of the screen to begin the signup process.
2: After you've clicked "Register", you'll need to sign in through Steam in order to gain access to the client.
*Remember your Steam Account will need to be public to proceed, check under Common Problems to fix this issue. Also, you will need to "Officially" have bought the game on Steam and have played 2 hours to proceed also!*
3: Next you'll be taken to an Official Steam Sign in page. This is used to obtain the client and is 100% safe. If you've not signed into Steam for a long time you'll need to insert a code from Steam Safeguard if turned on to proceed.
4: Moving on you'll now be taken to the actual sign up process. Remember to either keep note of these details or have a good memory as you're going to need these to login to the client and the forums.
5: After you've finished signing up for the website it's now time to login by using the "Login" feature at the top of the page.
6: After you've logged in it's now time to hit "Download". Once you've clicked it you should be taken to a page just like this.
*You may be prompted with a notification saying to verify your email address. It's best to get your account verified, as it may limit your options with future and current features.*
Click on "Download" above Client Installer to start downloading the recent version of the client. Some important specifications are listed including the game version supported and also what version of the client it's currently running.
7: After you've downloaded the client you're now ready to start installing the client.
*To proceed with the install of the client, follow the steps below!*
1: After Downloading the client above you're now ready to install the client. Double click the "Install TruckersMP.exe" and you'll be presented with this screen. This will tell you more information about the Multiplayer client including the version and recommends you to close all programs during installation.
2: Next you'll be presented with the agreements of the client. Make sure you read the full thing carefully as you're agreeing to everything here. After you've finished reading click agree and then "Next" to proceed.
3: Next you'll be asked where to install the TruckersMP Client. Select your location and then click "Next" to proceed.
4: Next you'll be asked what Multiplayer clients you want to Install. By default, both the American and European Multiplayer Clients are selected. After you've selected your chosen clients click "Next" to proceed.
5: Next you'll be asked where your install location is for both games. The installer should automatically pick up your install location. If it doesn't yours should be similar to mine depending if you changed the initial game installation. After you've selected your locations click "Next" to proceed on both windows.
6: Next you'll be asked what you want the start menu folder to be called that contains a shortcut for the client. Once you've left it default or entered an appropriate name click "Next" to proceed.
7: After you've done all of the above you'll be presented with the option to "Create a desktop icon". Just click the box if you want a Desktop Shortcut and click "Next" to proceed with the install and it should start installing.
*To launch the client, make your Steam is open and then launch the "TruckersMP" launcher which both should be found on your desktop.*
Note: If you ever need to uninstall versions of the TruckersMP Client it's as easy as right clicking the shortcut hopefully on your desktop or searching "TruckersMP" and you should find a "unins000.exe", double click this and the client will uninstall.
*After that, you're almost done, and need to update the client before playing online! Move down below on how to update the client.
When loading the client for the first time or when there's an update available you may be prompted to update the client. You can manually select what updates you wish to install but I would recommend installing all available updates to avoid any hassle in the future and have your client as up to date as it can be.
1: To get started in downloading the available updates for the client, select "Install Available Updates" and the client will start updating.
2: The update process may take from a couple seconds to a couple of minutes depending on your connection speed or possibly the load on the client's servers if an update's just been released.
3: When the update's done you'll be given the option whether to play "Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Launch ETS2" or "American Truck Simulator - Launch ATS".
When you see these options you know the updates have been installed successfully and you're now ready to play.
*Note: In the left hand corner you can see statistics about the client and what version you've got installed compared to the newest version. This will also aid if you need to update or not.
*If this is your first time installing you're now ready to play online! Move down below on how to setup your profile for Multiplayer and Singleplayer and some optional mods and tips to make your experience better!*
Make sure to create a completely different profile for Multiplayer away from your Singleplayer Profile. If that means a new profile for both types then that's what you need to do.
Example: "Name (Multiplayer)" and "Name (Singleplayer)"
*Remember don't click Singleplayer profile when using Multiplayer as this will break the Singleplayer profile*
*The reason I've included *Optional* in the title of this part is because if you want a "Mod" free experience you can miss out this part. Also, there is no need for mods to progress in the Multiplayer as you can progress as you do in Singleplayer the same way. You're not forced to Download any of the below. *
Money Mod
Another tip I have for using online profiles before going into the Multiplayer is having a good amount of money if luck comes to worst with other drivers. Also by using the Money Mod, you'll be able to afford the high priced trucks at the start of the game.
Here is a link to a Money Mod which you can enable when creating your profile. This is the mod I use and recommend to people when playing Multiplayer to make their experience enjoyable:
Money Mod (ETS2.LT - Euro Truck Simulator 2)
Money Mod (ATSMODS.LT - American Truck Simulator)
XP and Rank Mod
Another mod addressing the unlocking system of Multiplayer is this XP and Economy Mod. This will allow you to be able to rank up for those lights and bars without much hassle. To be able to gain the XP with this mod you need to be able to self park, but getting quick short jobs you can get around 35/40 rank in no time. This will also help unlock the higher tier trucks and also unlocks.
Here is a link to an XP and Economy Mod which you can enable when creating your profile. This is the mod I use and also recommend to other players wanting unlocks in their game:
XP Mod (ETS2.LT - Euro Truck Simulator 2)
XP Mod (ATSMODS.LT - American Truck Simulator)
*As mentioned above these mods are to be done before Multiplayer and on the Singleplayer game!*
The video above applies to both games. Both games follow the same folder system:
"Your Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/Mods"
"Your Documents/American Truck Simulator/Mods"
*The reason I've included *Optional* in the title of this part is because if you want a "Mod" free experience you can miss out this part. Also, there is no need for mods to progress in the Multiplayer as you can progress as you do in Singleplayer the same way. You're not forced to Download any of the below. *
If you've read the above and feel like it's too much work this is one of the methods to quickly get into Multiplayer which requires little or no work. Trucks, Money and Unlocks are already unlocked for you and ready to use and if you're newer to a Modding scene then this is the best option for a trouble free experience.
Down below I've listed the best recommended save that I've sent to other players countless times in the setting up of profiles and have had no errors with them:
Save Game 1
Save Game Money and XP Profile (ETS2.LT - Euro Truck Simulator)
Save Game Money and XP Profile (ATSMODS.LT - American Truck Simulator)
To Install the Profiles
1: Navigate to this inside your computer:
"Your Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/Profiles"
"Your Documents/American Truck Simulator/Profiles"
2: Once there take the massive folder made of numbers and drag and drop it into this folder.
3: Run your game and the profile should be visible, and you're ready to get in game and customize trucks and controls and other things to your liking.
*The reason I've included *Optional* in the title of this part is because if you want a "Mod" free experience you can miss out this part. Also, there is no need for mods to progress in the Multiplayer as you can progress as you do in Singleplayer the same way. You're not forced to Download any of the below. *
This recommendation is pretty self-explanatory. If you're wanting to keep your original profile but play Multiplayer at the same time, what you're going to have to do is:
1: Start off a Brand New Profile.
2: Play the Game in Singleplayer until you get the option to take out the highest bank loan.
3: Once you've got the loan buy a truck and customize to your liking.
4: Hop into the Multiplayer mod and repay the loan by doing jobs in Multiplayer.
*If your jobs disappear again, some of the easier common problems should help job fixes, such as sleeping or teleporting to garages and service stations*
As this is the most common problem I've seen on the forum for new players I've opted in to include it in this thread, so if you do come into this problem hopefully below can fix it.
No Jobs Appearing (Fix One: Sleeping Method)
If jobs haven't appeared for you in Multiplayer after following the tips of the community remember a simple thing as sleeping a few times can help get the jobs back on screen. Easily by going to a parking space and hitting enter.
No Jobs Appearing (Fix Two: Having a Self Drivable Truck Method)
Another reason of jobs not appearing is the possibility of not owning a truck. By following the steps above by using the Money Mod and XP Mod in Singleplayer before going online this can hopefully solve this problem.
No Jobs Appearing (Fix Three: Manually Changing Job List Method)
If you have tried all above and your jobs are still not appearing you will manually have to edit the economy back in and it can be done below.
First, navigate to this inside your computer:
"Your Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/config.cfg"
"Your Documents/American Truck Simulator/config.cfg"
*Note you will need to open this in Notepad or Wordpad, another good free program to Download is notepad++ but either Notepad or Wordpad will do the job.*
Next, you will need to find these lines of code (By using CTRL + F) and searching the following:
uset g_console
uset g_developer
instead of a 0 change these to a 1
Once finished saving, quit. Next, we're going to open your Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator game and selecting your Multiplayer profile navigate in game. For opening the console press "`" located next to your number one key.
Type this into the console to reset the economy:
g_force_economy_reset 1
After doing that press enter and re-navigate back to the profile screen. Selecting your profile again and navigating back in game you will need to redo the process above this time changing the 1 to a zero.
Open the console again using "`" located next to the one key and type this into the console:
g_force_economy_reset 0
And that's it you're good to go and hopefully start trucking online. If you're job list ever disappears again you will need to repeat the process above but hopefully, it keeps refreshing.
The next most common problem I've noticed on the forum is when SCS decides to push an update for the base game of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator alot of people are confused on how to play the Multiplayer until the Multiplayer team update the mod for the newest version of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Here's a quick guide on how to Downgrade your Version and also Upgrade your Version if you're unsure how to change back.
For this example, I'll be using the base version 1.19 which is currently unsupported by Multiplayer and downgrading to version 1.18 which is currently supported by the Multiplayer mod.
*Note this above method will not affect players until the 1.19 Patch hits the public which should be soon. I'm just doing a little future proofing to help prepare so the version in the guide may not be 100% but I'll update on release*
Downgrading your Version
This process is for people who want to downgrade their version to play the Multiplayer mod after Steam has updated their Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator version to the recent base game update.
"Example: Version x.xx (ETS2 Base/ATS Base) > Version x.x1 (Multiplayer Support Base)"
*Before starting any of the below make sure your Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator is fully closed down, the process below won't work if it's open*
1: Load up your Steam Client and hover over "Library" and click "Games" at the top of your screen.
2: Right click on "Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator" and click "Properties"
3: Click on the "Betas" tab at the top.
4: If steam has updated your current version making you unable to play the Multiplayer the top down box should say "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs"
5: Click on the drop down box, you'll be presented with a whole load of numbers and versions but the one you're wanting to select is "temporary_x_x_x_x - x.x.x.x.x"
*Note: As mentioned above this will be updated as each version releases*
6: Close the properties window and then allow the game to update/downgrade. Providing you're on the correct Multiplayer version the Multiplayer mod will now launch.
Upgrading your Version
This process is for people who want to upgrade their version to play the Multiplayer mod after Multiplayer has updated their mod to support the latest Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator base game update.
*Note: This is only if you followed the process of above by downgrading your game*
"Example: Version x.xx (ETS2/ATS Downgrade Base for MP) > Version x.x1 (Multiplayer Support Base)"
*Before starting any of the below make sure your Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator is fully closed down, the process below won't work if it's open*
1: Load up your Steam Client and hover over "Library" and click "Games" at the top of your screen.
2: Right click on "Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator" and click "Properties"
3: Click on the "Betas" tab at the top.
4: If you've followed the process above to play the Multiplayer the top down box should say "temporary_x_x_x_x - x.x.x.x.x"
5: Click on the drop down box, you'll be presented with a whole load of numbers and versions but the one you're wanting to select is "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs"
*Note: As mentioned above this will be updated as each version releases*
6: Close the properties window and then allow the game to update/downgrade. Providing you're on the correct Multiplayer version the Multiplayer mod will now launch.
Seeing the Version Supported
The version supported by the multiplayer client can be found on the launcher at the top left hand corner. This will hopefully aid in what version you need to pick if you're wanting play online.
Problem not listed here?
Instead of writing every problem that can occur when playing Multiplayer a user by the name of Gwait (Suldok) has created a great post with mostly every problem that can occur in Multiplayer. Go over there and hopefully he can have the answer for any of your problems.

For some who have seen my replays I am using FaceTrackNoIR software with my Plexgear 720p Cam.
What this software is, is that it's a cheap / almost free version of the TrackIR where you only need a CAM and the Software which can be purchased for roughly 2,5€. Think about a Cam you might have laying around or a cheap one you wanted to buy then you add that with this software and you get a cheap Face Tracking that doesn't cost a fortune!
I would highly recommend this for users who doesn't have much money and want a quick but also a semi-solution for now!
My quick guide of this is not so indepth but I will go through the basics on how to set it up (My way)
First off you need your cam, some are not supported according to the site but mine isn't either but it sure works! (Plexgear 720p Cam)
Then you need your FaceTrackNoIR Software
When you buy it, you will get a download link to the program on your mail and it's a quick install.
There is a lot of information on their site which I provided in this guide and you can read other's experiences with it.
When you launch the Software it will look sort of like this:
When the front side looks like in the spoiler then you can move onto the Curves.
Now shortkeys! These are important!
Issues you might come across / Solutions to those and also some explainations
Changing your Camera position in-game will change the Camera Reset point to that position!
There is no need to setup anything in-game as it automatically should do that for you. Just start FaceTrackNoIR first and then the game!
If I find anything new to attach to this guide then I will post new things inside the guide.
(I highly recommend trying it with a Steering Wheel!)
Interested in how it looks for me? Here is my Plays.tv where I have both my report clips and some random clips where I park and such
Note also: When going into low FPS areas, the tracking will lag too in-game so you might want to Pause the Camera Movement and drive safe!
[+New]Important: If you have glasses like I do then I hope that you can actually see without them or have non-reflecting glasses. My glasses reflect the light from anything in my room and my monitors so the camera cannot pick up my eyes and then crops the face grid down below your glasses which will make your camera look elsewhere whenever you turn your head in any way. Contacts, non-reflecting glasses or no glasses is the way to go sadly... I know terrible.. I have tried this for a long time and I sadly cannot afford any Non-reflecting glasses as of now to test and I can also not get any contacts yet as I have not met the requirements. I only need my glasses for reading or looking far away unless I want to get close on both parts so it isn't a big issue for me.
[+New]As I've gotten questions about the ceiling lamp being on all the time when using FaceTrackNoIR, I've confirmed you don't need it on actually.. However you need a source of light located infront of you then that just lights up your face good enough on left and right side. I use both my left and right extra monitors with two browsers up. I use TruckersMP's forum site as it is bright and works perfect! I changed my settings on the monitors to 100brightness and 80contrast which isn't to bright or to dimmed. When having this type of light source your tracking will be somewhat risky depending on how your camera is tracking but I would recommend playing around with this for a while before deciding to just constantly go with that under heavy traffic. When you're in a Non-collision-zone I'd highly recommend you sit motionless and look forward in your truck and try to notice any movement. Move your head left and right gently and see if it jerks. Go all the way to the end of your Curves that you have set and then move back to the middle. If you notice the camera not being lined up anymore you center it and redo the process again to see if it works for you.
I am going to do this without my two other monitors on and just using the game as source of light in day / night cycle of the game. Note that this test was done 3am during the winter so it's pitch black in my room.
I also tested doing this in American Truck Simulator so it's working totally fine with the settings I have and I can confirm my settings are supporting ATS right now.

Changelog / Update to the Guide
Things that is planned to be added so far to this guide.
Don't forget to make multiple profile saves for each major changes you make so you have both smooth / sensetive / steep or any other settings profiles you want. Always great to be safe and save the pervious setup to recover!
(I am really driven to make a perfect guide for this software. I use it everyday and It's a great starter program for those who already owns a Webcam or wanted to buy one anyways!)

Downgrading and Upgrading Euro Truck Simulator 2 Version
Whenever Euro Truck Simulator 2 gets an update from SCS you need to downgrade the game version in order to use TruckersMP, because TruckersMP doesn't have support for the latest version right away. How soon TruckersMP gets an update depends on how many changes there are in the new ETS2 update. On average it takes less than 5 days for TruckersMP to receive an update after ETS2 update. In this guide I will explain with text and GIF's how to downgrade ETS2 to supported version and how to upgrade it after TMP update.
Supported version: 1.32.3.14s (the latest)
Downgrading Euro Truck Simulator 2 Version
(The latest version supported)*
*Explanations:
The latest version supported: No need to downgrade to the previous ETS2 version.
Downgrade to supported version: The latest version of ETS2 is unsupported. Follow the guide to downgrade to supported version.
Status not available: Author of the guide is not able to keep the guide up-to-date for a longer period of time.
Upgrading Euro Truck Simulator 2 Version
Unsupported version detected when using the supported version
If you have followed the steps provided in the downgrading or the upgrading guide above, but the launcher still claims that the version of ETS2 is an unsupported one, view this guide created by ResTed for a possible solution.
Unsupported DLC Packs and Map Expansions
Special Transport
Supported DLC Packs
All the DLC packs and map expansions excluding unsupported DLC mentioned above.
Note: these lists do not include Steam inventory items. For more detailed information, view this topic.
If you spot a mistake or out-dated information, please contact author with personal message or comment below.

Now we have all heard of the infamous Europoort where it can cause many bans/kicks and also many trips to the repair station. With the help of some fellow truckers (mentioned in the text somewhere) and what I've seen from driving, I have come up with a survival guide on europort.
Most important tip - Treat people how you
want to be treated and don't do stuff you wouldn't do in real life
There is also an ETS2MP based Highway code you can read (W.I.P)
CCTV
If you know your journey goes through Europoort, you can check the CCTV to see how busy it is
Reporting
The following links will help you report someone in game.
Report System
Report System Help
You're banned, what do i do?
You can make an appeal here
Journey to Rotterdam/Europoort
Make sure you have plenty of fuel, Make sure your truck is 0 or a relativity low damage point, If it above 10%, i would recommend having a repair because engine problems can be a pain and may annoy other truckers.
Journey towards Europoort
I recommend staying in the left lane as this means you won't need to change lane and at the merge lane section, this will cause less problems and possibly less queues
From the merge lane to the europoort, make sure you don't go on the wrong side of the road as this will cause you more problems, possibly delay your delivery even more as you will have to battle two sides of road at the same time and it will mainly lead you into a ban.
As well as this when you are doing jobs, Your GPS will tell you to follow the blue line, But if it busy on that area, Use the red line, I have found this to be faster and less congested then the blue line
Europoort non-collison zones
The lines in Orange is where the Non-collision start (Going towards the port) and close (Going away from the port), If you have a trailer truck when going out, please bare this in mind and if you are going out without a trailer, please slow down and leave enough room so you don't go inside of the truck and cause problems.
Aurora has created a useful video on how to survive in Europoort which is better than mine
Dashcam
For recording Rammers etc, i recommended a service called Plays.tv or shadowplay (Nvidia only)
Plays.tv or shadowplay will allow you to record a crash that just happened, you press two keys on your keyboard and then it'll record a previous 2 mins or how ever long you have set it for and then you upload it online and then fill out a report.
Plays.tv is like YouTube where you can upload videos but in game you press the key bind to record like the last 2 mins or more then you close the game and open up the plays.tv editor which allows you to crop the video down and then you upload it to plays.tv
General Tips
Turn of beacons whilst in the area if it is laggy as this will reduce lag.
If you know your truck is truly stuck or broken down press F7 and enter as soon as possible, This will make everyone's lives easier. "I noticed one thing driving with 30%+ damaged tires... once the tires get to a point in % the damage bar only shows the tires damage so you dont know the actual damage with out going to the Diagnosis part of the game (stop in a safe spot hit esc its on the right under my truck). Why drive with damaged tires? Well for one thing if you know what your doing even at 50% the truck is controllable. Second anything beyond 40% simulates a snowy/icy road." - Egg-Roll
If you accidentally hit someone just say sorry an that you didn't mean it, so it doesn't escalate further down the road or in chat.
If you want to leave the game, park up somewhere safe so you don't spawn in the middle of the road.
Don't spam the horn, 1 or 2 times may be long enough but not 10 times in a short time as this is annoying (If they didn't hear you the first time, they probably didn't hear you the 100th time.You could also use your light horn in your truck (Basically turns your lights on for a short time)
Make sure you leave plenty of room between you and the truck infront
Just have patience seen as the admins are doing everything
Also please don't push in, This will generally happen when there is a long queue but people drive past on the wrong side to get further into the queue. Please don't do this and this may hold you even longer and if people are like me ( ), were they hate people who jump in, They will make sure you don't push infront of them.
If you require the need to chat, it may be better to stop the truck as I've found from personal experiences is that driving at 55mph in a built up area then you use chat, your truck then has no control so you crash and possibly annoy someone.
Sometimes use an external view instead of a internal view as this may save abit of your framerate, you can also press F11 which will turn off player tags (Saves around 3 - 7 FPS, as tesco says, every little helps)
Try and remember the correct side of the road you're driving on when going to Ferries - Uk (Left side) Outside of UK (Right side)
Also don't park in the tunnel before europoort (Like i did in the pic) as this can be highly annoying at times
More tips - thecharrr
If you got a longer load, aka not special containers, and unsure if you can make the turn without going in the other lane at the first curve in, enter the opposing lane before turning.
The GPS route is the one you want when heading out, as you still need to make a right anyways
Loading into ETS2MP around Rotterdam should be done within no collide areas otherwise you highly risk loading into someone else and giving someone a bad day
Avoiding Europort is a better idea overall, especially when the 2.5k player cap is gone.
Anyway good luck truckers:)
P.S. if you don't feel like going into Rotterdam, travel to Amsterdam, It is only a couple of mins longer added onto your journey but it can be generally safer.
WARNING - New rule has been implemented
Useless traffic in excessively high population areas - Kick / Ban
Useless traffic in excessively high population areas such as Europoort, Rotterdam or the roads surrounding Oxnard. Driving without reason to and from or anything similar.

Since there are tips for beginners on sticky topics through the forum, I thought there is a need for "honest" tips for beginners. 1. Assume everyone is idiot You have to assume every player are 12-year old spoiled brats that their parents bought PC just to get rid of them. Ofcourse not everyone is, but you have to assume everyone can be that. They don't have brakes, they only have throttle, they have no idea rules of the road except their experience with Need4Speed games and think they can get away like they play GTA. Those people are throttle-happy and their momma is on fire if they don't hit 90 km/h and honk if you are going slower in front of them. They generally use Scania or Volvo because of maximum HP engine. So when you see a player just be cautious, especially at gas station exits, road exits and interconnections, give road and hit brake if they are passing you because they forget they carry a trailer and they think they can overtake like a car, so imagine every driver like you see in russian accident videos and get your dashcam ready. You will notice Artificial Intelligence (AI) on single player is smarter than most here. 2. Want realism? Here is how... Trucking is not about going from A to B, it is about load, safety of load. That's why unless you are really heavy worker, you hardly can see a truck over 500 hp in reality. That's why real life transport trucks hardly pass over 70+ km/h. Since load is priority. Real truckers drive slow. Going slower than speed limit has very good advantages, you avoid most of crashes. Don't worry about "time limit" of Job, since time goes slower in MP than in single player... You can go with 40 km/h and still manage to do a rush job in time. 3. Quick Save Assign a key ( I use middle mouse button for example) as "Quick save", why this save is important, you will eventually see, when your road is blocked with stuck kid's trucks and trailers and they work constantly to get out instead of F7 + Enter, OR when another idiot uses safetly lane as 90km/h speeding route and hit your load, you can easily go back to your save with undamaged cargo or change your route where it is not blocked... 4. ADMIN names may not be admins Real admin names are seen RED color (not sure if any but not gray/white), if you see ADMIN name with a gray letters like everyone else, do report them for name. /report (theirnumber) admin name... 5. Stay Away from Rotterdam Everyone and their grandmother picks Rotterdam as starting point for their garage, it is a lag hell, rest of map is almost empty but Rotterdam and Europoort (EP) are places to avoid to start or even pass through, use Amsterdam port or Calais train.... 6. Enjoy your ride Convoy with people, with anonymous people who knows how to drive like a trucker. It is almost as fun. 7. Objects in mirror are closer than it looks Use your mirrors and if you are going to overtake make sure you go at least 100 meters on your lane 8. Crashed? Stuck? Barrel rolled? Rick Rolled? Learn to use F7 + Enter Seriously F7 + Enter Towing is BEST way to save yourself without doing more damage to your truck and OTHERS! It is quick, painless and gets you to safety... 9. DO NOT USE WINTER MOD Seriously, Winter mod is okay for wintery feeling but it is not for those who have no idea how to drive because there are no lanes, you can notice who uses winter mod from their driving and their point between lanes. Also it gets dark a lot quicker... If you don't know how to disable it, here is a simple guide: http://forum.ets2mp.com/index.php?/topic/4223-guide-how-to-disable-winter-mod-steam-avatars/ 10. DO NOT FEED TROLLS You will eventually meet with people ramming you on purpose, leaving their trailers all around just for their own fun. Do not feed them by cursing at them, THEY LOVE TO SEE YOU PISSED OFF! Just use your Quick Save or F7 + Enter, don't forget to report their them (see here) 11. Don't yell to people, Use PM If you are looking to message someone use PM in game /pm <PlayerID> <message> , and if someone PM'd you, /reply <message>

Hello Everyone ,
Part 1:
My car is limited to less than 40 km / h:
To do this, you must go to Game Settings (Options) / Controller / then go to the Automatic line to put Sequential:
Then:
Then
Then scroll down the drop down menu
Then click on Sequential
Part 2:
How the Sequential box:
For this, make it in Game Settings (Options) / Keypad Keys / and found the location Upper and Lower Ratio
Then
Then
Then you can choose a touch for the Superior Report (1-2-3-4-5-6)
And a touch for the Inferior Ratio (6-5-4-3-2-1)

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
Since Germany is located in Middle Europe, it is the middle of the map. A lot truckers have to cross Germany to reach their destination. I want to quickly provide a few common things, not every trucker knows, because Germany has one of the most developed street systems worldwide, even without having speedlimits on some points (no don't hope, for trucks there is always a speed limit )
So first of all, I want to quickly start with the sign everyone sees, when he enters Germany.
<- shows speed limits for cars outside, inside villages and on German "Autobahn"
Important for us is, that this is car only. For trucks it is 50 inside cities, and outside, it depends on the weight of the truck. If it is between 3,5 and 7,5t, you are allowed to drive 80 on streets.
On motorway, everyone, no matter what weight he has is only allowed to drive 80km/h. If he is allowed to drive 100 (needs 100 sign, signed by TÜV (German Law)) he can drive 100 but on motorways only! By the way, the blue sign with the 130 is not a speed limit, it is a speed you should drive. If you make mistakes or having accidents and you can't proof that this would also happen when you drive less than 130, then it is automatically your fault!
Follow pictures are also important for you!
- shows the speed limit, applies to every vehicle on the road, if not marked under it.
- this sign can be under a speed limit, so this speed limit is now applying to trucks only!
- general prohibition of over taking other vehicles. Permanent lines between both sides are also showing this kind of prohibition.
- If you see this, you can cross the intersection. But keep in mind chapter #2
- A stop sign. A full stop is required to make sure, noone is coming from left or right.
- You can slowly drive forward and make sure noones coming at the same time. If someone comes, a stop is required! You are still the second in queue!
- A railway crosses the street, 3 stripe sign is 240 in front of the railway, the two stripe on 160m, the one stripe 80m!
Chapter #2 with translation
pyramide showing the chain of command in a street intersection! Blue is police, orange is traffic light, red is Sign and green is right before left
Police - The police is the highest in chain of command. If police stands on traffic intersection and is ruling traffic, everyone has to listen to police, no matter what colour the traffic lights are showing. He can overrule the traffic light and every other rule!
Traffic light - If there is no police officer, and the traffic lights are running, they are automatically the highest you have to listen to. If they show red, you have to stop. If they show green, you are allowed to drive.
Sign - Sometimes, traffic lights are not working i.E. they are under construction, damaged or it is just night and the city wants to save energy, so they put it on orange. It will light just orange. You will be confronted with this in ETS since traffic lights are shutting down in the night. Now the signs are the highest. Watch chapter #1 for more information about signs.
Right before left - If there is nothing enabled, no sign and no police, there will be right before left. It is an easy rule but mistakes can still be done. You won't be confronted since you cant pass lower populated city areas or small villages. They often have it on their streets.
In this case, the Blue would be allowed to drive, since there is noone on the right side of him. Red has to let Blue pass first, because Blue is right next on the right side of Red. If Blue passed, Red is allowed to pass the intersection because since Blue passed, there is noone on the right side anymore. If red passed, green can also pass, because red is gone, so the right side is free for green. It sounds confusing but its pretty easy to learn!
Chapter #3 Driving on the street and watching other traffic
Overtaking on the rightest lane is forbidden except inside cities. Thats why you can't freely choose your lanes like you can do it inside cities. Outside of them, there is a law, which forces you to drive on the right side of the road to give others the possibility, overtaking you legally and safely. Always drive on the right lane, until you actually enter a city or overtaking someone. In the following pictures, you can see exceptions, when it is allowed, driving on other sides!
- if someone enters the Autobahn, make sure you give him the space to enter it. Look in your mirror and go on the left lane to give him a legal possibility to enter the lane!
- you entered a city. Left sign is letting you know, you entered and two right signs are letting you know, you left a city!
- You overtake someone and you have to use the left lane!
In case of a traffic jam, you should drive carefully. If you are on multiple lane roads, always form a way for emergency vehicles.
To make it easy, the lane on the left side has to give space by driving close to the edge of the left side. All the other lanes have to drive right so between the first lane from left and the second from left is a space for emergency vehicles!
Now other common things, you should watch...
Its showing a circle. Do not rush into it. Watch for other traffic. You can join it without having indicator enabled but if you leave indicate your direction!
- safe explaining, you enter a tunnel but switch on your lights!
- shows, that all vehicles are forbidden. If there is a car inside, all vehicles as big as and bigger as a car are forbidden. If a truck the same thing with just truck!
Now a general information. Do not use your bright lights when there is other traffic. In ETS2 your not blinding someone, but in real life, you are. So turn the bright lights off and just use the normal ones!
And watch these signs, they are the most important for you! and btw dont forget the traffic lights!
German Autobahn facts:
- over 13000 kilometers long
- connecting west, east, north and south (N, E, S, W)
- Having an A for Autobahn and a count i.E. A420 (dont know if this excists)
- Minimal speed limit is 60, if there is fog which disables visibility and you enable fog lights, you can only drive 50 so this is the only exception!
Blue sign with two lanes and a bridge

Hi,
I made video how to share your paintjob colors with others. This will be the most useful to the company owners who needs that all his drivers has same colors as you.
The original post on this topic (no longer works) -

Today i found a very cool guide how to change the normally backgrounds in ETS2MP Menu to a diffrent!
ATTENTION TO THE PLAYERS!
The new Launcher of TruckersMP corrypted the data folder which contains the ui for a long time now and there is no way to change the background now. So this guide doesnt work anymore!
So what you need for that. You need a photo in ETS2 for that.
1. Go to your computer/Program Files (if you have Program Files (x86), doesnt matter, just you need to find Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer)/Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer/data/ui.
2. You will see photos and if you search you will see the background photos. Rename your photo too: background0.
4. Put the background0 to "ui" folder and replace it.
NOTE: Do not delete the background0 in the "ui" folder because if you put a new photo but have the same name like before, your ETS2MP Menu will be red screen.
5. Copy the background0 (your photo) and paste it in desktop. Rename it to "background1" and replace it to the background1 (ETS2MP Photo Menu) it in ui folder.
6. Repeat step 5 but rename the background1 to background2 and replace it to the background2 (ETS2MP Photos Menu).
You should playing without red screen.
14-11-15 I decided it to edit it because i found a way to not shine red screen.
22-4-18 The guide is completely shuted down! After the TruckersMP launcher folder on the Programs File doesn't have the data folder which contains ui, i think you can't do anything to change the background after you enter into the ETS2MP or ATSMP Launcher. If there is someone who can help me, i will restart the guide.

Hey friends! I've been really into American Truck Simulator and I was super excited to see they already released a Multiplayer mod for it so I put together a quick tutorial (under 4 minutes) since that is what I do on Youtube. Hope it helps you get connected!
